Da leider noch nicht viele Leute dieses Board besitzen möchte ich es an dieser Stelle vorstellen.
Da die X38/X48 Boards von Gigabyte ja keinen so guten Ruf bzgl. ihrer OC-Tauglichkeit geniessen war mein Interesse an diesem Board auch erst sehr gering. Doch dann stieß ich auf eine durchaus positive review bei clunk.org.uk in der das Board mit den 45nm Dual Cores durchweg überzeugende Ergebnisse lieferte. Als ich dann noch erfuhr dass die Jungs vom PC-Tweaker ihre 45nm Quads bevorzugt auf diesem Brett testen, da damit der höchste FSB erreicht wird, war ich restlos überzeugt und orderte das Board direkt beim PC-Tweaker. Da die CPU als limitierender Faktor ausgeschlossen werden sollte nahm ich gleich noch einen Q9550 und einen E8600 (beide pretested) mit.
Von den Ergebnissen könnt ihr euch nun hier überzeugen und wenn der ein oder andere sich vielleicht auch noch das Board bestellt könnte ja eventuell sogar ein sammelthread draus werden....
